Chapter 229: James Dolan

James Dolan did come to Madison Square Garden, but it wasn't what he wanted to be today. For this busy New York City rich second generation, he has too much to do to keep busy, how can he have time to watch the poor performance of this "mud team", and normally he will not appear here more than one hand a year.

Today is not so much that he wants to watch the game, but that he is here to sell the face of these Hollywood star friends. As the big owner of the New York Knicks and the owner of the Madison Square Garden Arena, with so many VIPs visiting, it is natural to come out to entertain them.

Of course, he also knows that more than half of these VIPs are also here to join in the fun, which is nothing more than how important the media says about this game, and how rare the tickets for this game are. For these stars, they are definitely not fans of the New York Knicks or the Brooklyn Nets, they are here to show the world that Lao Tzu (Lao Niang) is an important person, and secondly, it is better to come to the heat anyway.

Just like Roy doesn't know these big stars, these big stars probably can't name a few players on the field.

This is the social circle, sometimes doing one thing is not because of the thing itself, but for other purposes, sports and entertainment, there is no separation, so Dolan and this group of film and television stars are good friends.

However, James Dolan is not in good shape today, he drank too much last night, and as the richest second generation in New York City, his private life can only be described as chaotic. Alcohol and drug abuse are all trivial matters to him, and the pampered Dolan has been "full of drugs" since he was a child, and he even entered a drug rehabilitation center in 1993.

In his spare time, Dolan's first hobby is neither fitness nor basketball, he prefers music, he likes to sing, he used to perform on stage as a singer, and he feels that he and Taylor Swift, Rihanna, and Justin Bieber are people of the same world, not some troublesome entrepreneur.

The New York Knicks and the NHL's New York Rangers are just two of his toys, dispensable.

When it comes to toys, as long as it's fun, as long as there are no accidents. So he hired the famous Phil Jackson to manage the team, and he only had one request for Phil Jackson, play well to satisfy the New York fans, don't let the team break out negative news, just make your ears clean, as for the record, it's all floating clouds.

But this season's New York Knicks didn't let him worry, and the war of words between Phil Jackson and Carmelo Anthony in the offseason was enough for him to be upset, and the league only started four games and there was a scandal of negative games with players, even if he found another manager for the team, Mills, it didn't help.

So, after the game against the Chicago Bulls, he angrily found Phil Jackson and Steve Misle, and gave the two an ultimatum, either do it well or get out together!

Owner Dolan is so ruthless, the team's record has really improved, before facing the Brooklyn Nets, the New York Knicks have won two in a row, the media doubts have gradually faded, and the praise of fans is endless.

From the media, Dolan heard about the existence of Roy, a Chinese guy who is now not only the most talked-about player in the league, but also the first sign of the NBA and the New York Knicks to open up the Chinese market. Although Dolan had never wanted to expand into the Chinese market, Dolan was shocked when a Chinese media group of several hundred people arrived in New York.

Who the hell is Roy? How can he have such a strong appeal? Is he more famous than Anthony? Dolan also wanted to find out in the game.

After the warm-ups, the 10 starters took to the field.

The New York Knicks' starters today are point guard Derrick Rose, shooting guard Konteney Lee, small forward Roy, power forward Kristaps Porzingis, and center Joji Noah.

The Nets' starting lineup today is point guard Jeremy Lin, shooting guard Bojan Bogdanovic, small forward Ronday Hollis Jefferson, power forward Trevor Booker, and center Brook Lopez.

To be honest, there are really few celebrity faces when the ten players of these two teams are put together, but the audience doesn't care, they have long been high.

After the jump, the shouting of the fans never stopped.

The Knicks were the first to get the ball, and Rose was very playful to hand the ball directly to Roy, and the crowd shouted even more.

He's Roy? Dolan saw Roy for the first time, and his ears were deafened by the high decibel levels of the scene.

Defending Roy is the Nets' Jefferson, the 53rd sophomore rookie selected last year, a weak chicken with less than 70 comprehensive ability, and he is Roy's opponent.

Roy's two crossovers stunned Jefferson for a moment, and then one more acceleration completely got rid of this second-year rookie. Roy took advantage of the situation to enter the penalty area, and only Brook López, known as "Big Luo", was left in front of him.

In the face of this all-star center with strong offense and weak defense, Roy showed no mercy, and his murderous spirit together directly slammed Lopez head-on.

"Bang." With a loud bang, with the impact of running, Roy knocked Lopez out of the air, a standard riding buckle! Roy's first offense came to a dunk from the other person, and the whole court exploded!

"Hey, James, where did you get such a great guy from? I hadn't heard of Roy before. Rihanna, who has a good personal relationship with Dolan, was the first to praise Roy, and her compliment made Dolan smile.

"Don't believe it, we spent a lot of money and resources to get this Chinese genius, and China Phil has been there many times." With Rihanna's inquiry, Dolan began his own performance.

"Mr. Dolan, if I'm not mistaken, Roy went to high school in Los Angeles, right? I watched him on TV at the time. Hearing Dolan's blowing, Justin Bieber, also from Los Angeles, asked incomprehensibly that he had really watched Roy's game, but at that time he couldn't imagine that the Chinese kid would enter the NBA, or enter the NBA as a flower show.

"That...... We started watching Roy before he came to Los Angeles. Dolan wiped his forehead, and finally got the panic back.

"Wow, Mr. Nadolan, you are so discerning, if I would not dare to choose a foreign player in the third pick." When DiCaprio praised Dolan, Roy made another three-point shot, and the audience thundered again.

"No, my future Knicks are built on Roy, Roy is undoubtedly a superstar, and his future achievements are limitless." The more Dolan talked, the more proud he became, and under the praise of a group of stars, his satellites were also getting higher and higher.

Roy on the court did live up to the expectations of Dolan, nearly 20,000 fans in the stadium and hundreds of millions of fans in front of the TV, and he scored 13 points in the first quarter alone, leading the team to a 10-point lead at 29:19.

At this point, Brin and Fraser were also happy in the studio, and throughout the first quarter, they were discussing Roy's stellar performance with today's special guest, Knicks veteran Patrick Ewing.

"I think Roy can be called a 'phenomenal' player now, and if he can lead the team to win today, then the Knicks will have three straight wins, and the last two wins are achieved without Anthony, which is a great feat."

"Roy is really good, he reminds me of Jeremy Lin, the last time Jeremy Lin was on a killing spree with the Knicks, it was also during Anthony's injury, and his 'Lin Crazy' performance is still fresh in my memory."

"Hey, Walter, you actually compare Jeremy Lin to Roy, Roy scored 13 points in the first quarter, and Jeremy Lin is still a duck egg, if Jeremy Lin is just a flash in the pan, then I believe Roy can be crazy for a season."

"A season? So what did Anthony say when he came back? ”

"Anthony is back? Is Anthony coming back? ”

Is Anthony coming back? I believe this is a question that every fan who watches this game will ask, exactly, will Anthony still need to come back?
